“This was a fantastic horror game that kept me on the edge of my seat. It had high quality sound design, creative monster design, sufficient lore to keep me hooked, and well timed jump scares. I play a lot of horror games, but this one was really refreshing. 10/10.”

“So far it lives up to the positive reviews, Unforgiving delivers on the promise of being scary, with unique mythological monsters, disturbing scenes and a well made world with classic design choices that lead to a fresh take on classic survival horror.”
